Create Multi-Array From Checkbox Form

[Tracer]

How do you create a multi-dimensional array from a checkbox submit form? I have the checkboxes working, but how do i set up the hidden input for arrays?

I have a page that displays multiple lines from an odbc query and

I know that:

while ($row=odbc_fetch_array........)
{
<INPUT type=hidden name=array[] value=$row>
}

will output
array[0] $row data etc etc,

How Do I output
array[name] pt name for that line
array[date] date for that line
array[x] x for that line

while ($row=odbc_fetch_array........)
{
<INPUT type=hidden name=array[] value=$row[name]>
<INPUT type=hidden name=array[] value=$row[date]>
<INPUT type=hidden name=array[] value=$row[x]>
}

😕

while ($row=odbc_fetch_array(. . .)) 
{
<input type=hidden name=array[$row['id']]['name'] value=$row['name']>
<input type=hidden name=array[$row['id']]['date'] value=$row['date']>
<input type=hidden name=array[$row['id']]['x'] value=$row['x']>
}

You'd need to fix up the HTML, obviously. You need the row id in there to keep the second array dimensions associated with their row.

Problem:
All the input must be on the

<INPUT Type=checkbox name= value=>

line so that only checked rows are submitted.

Secondly, after setting array[0][name] and then trying to call
array[0][name] all that is displayed is "Array", not the value?

Sounds like it's setting the value to $row and not $row['whatever']

yup...that worked....thanks

any idea on a workaround for inputting all this info on the checkbox line? Otherwise all the values are passed to the next file wether the box is checked or not....
